Customer Needs
The farm mainly cultivates high-value cash crops, and its production management faces two major challenges:
- Space Constraints: The crop row spacing is narrow, and the internal space of greenhouses is limited, making it difficult for traditional small and medium-sized tractors to enter and turn around.
- Diversified Operations: Daily tasks include soil transportation, organic fertilizer application, crop residue cleaning, and small-scale construction, which place extremely high requirements on the equipment’s attachment compatibility and operational convenience.
- Cost Sensitivity: The farm needs to control the total equipment investment and operating costs, and expects to find a cost-effective small equipment that can replace the labor of multiple workers. This is the fundamental reason why they started looking for a suitable stand behind skid steer for sale in the market.
Why Has Stand On Mini Skid Steer Become the Key to Breaking the Dilemma?
After clarifying its needs, the farm surveyed the market and evaluated traditional solutions like small harvesters and walk-behind transporters—finding fundamental limitations in all. Through these comparisons, it concluded a stand on mini skid steer is the only equipment meeting its complex needs, with core advantages in three comparisons:
- vs. single-function small harvesters: It’s an “all-round workstation”. Small harvesters only handle specific crop harvesting, while the farm needs a solution for weeding, transportation and fertilization. This stand on mini skid steer switches attachments quickly for full-scenario use, avoiding equipment idleness and repeated investment.
- vs. limited-capacity walk-behind transporters: It’s a “high-efficiency power source”. Transporters are compact but lack load capacity and expandability. As a powerful front loader skid steer, the YG S370 (210kg rated load, strong hydraulics) handles heavy transport easily and drives excavation/drilling attachments, realizing a leap from simple handling to power output.
- vs. other bulky equipment: It’s a “tailor-made tool for Thai farms”. The YG S370’s targeted design stood out—faster wheeled movement on hard roads, better high-temperature/humidity reliability, and intuitive operation. This stand on mini skid steer beats complex models with low threshold, becoming the most practical choice.
Full-Scenario Solutions for Stand On Mini Skid Steer
YG has customized a multi-attachment solution centered on the S370 for the farm, making it a truly multi-functional platform:
- Core Handling Unit: As an efficient front loader skid steer, its standard enlarged and thickened bucket is responsible for most of the transportation work of soil, fertilizers, and harvested products, and the rated load of 210 kg fully meets daily needs.
- Quick Attachment Switching System: Through a simple hydraulic quick-change interface, this equipment can be transformed into different professional tools within a few minutes. For example, install an auger for wooden pile drilling, attach a hay fork for straw cleaning, or use a pallet fork for material transportation.
- Full-Scenario Adaptive Design: For some hard roads on the farm, its wheeled traveling mechanism has fast moving speed, high efficiency, and no damage to the ground. The LED lights ensure continuous operation capability in the early morning or evening.
Practical Performance of Mini Loader Skid Steer
In practical applications, the performance of the S370 in various scenarios has exceeded expectations:
- Greenhouse Operation Scenario: In greenhouses with highly limited height, its low-profile body and standing operation mode allow operators to easily enter and exit, and complete internal soil improvement and material transportation without worrying about hitting the top or inconvenient operation.
- Orchard Management Scenario: When applying organic fertilizer in furrows between fruit trees, its precise controllability enables fertilizers to be accurately placed near the tree roots, reducing waste, and its efficiency is more than 5 times that of manual labor.
- Farm Maintenance Scenario: Miscellaneous projects such as cleaning drainage ditches, leveling small roads, and assisting in the installation of irrigation facilities can now be independently and quickly completed by this mini loader skid steer, reducing reliance on large external equipment and waiting time.
How Can a Stand On Mini Skid Steer Achieve Fast Return on Investment?
After introducing the YG S370, the farm has obtained immediate economic returns:
- Direct Labor Replacement: The equipment directly replaces at least 2 long-term workers engaged in heavy manual handling, saving more than 15,000 US dollars in labor costs annually with this single item alone.
- Leap in Operation Efficiency: The cross-regional fertilizer transportation work that used to take a whole day can now be completed in only 2-3 hours; integrating various operations, the overall production efficiency has increased by about 70%.
- Low Operating Costs: Equipped with a B&S engine, it features low fuel consumption and simple maintenance. The open engine compartment and the front cover designed with double-rod support make daily inspection, repair, and maintenance extremely simple, further reducing maintenance costs and time.
